What about a GOP candidate who adopts a more moderate approach? Here in Cali, Gov. Schwarzenegger started off pretty far to the right, but adopted a more moderate approach later on and handily won re-election, and is having an easier time in the State Legislature. Do you all think that if we get a GOP candidate to be more moderate than others that they will be able to at least split the liberal voters?
